"the issue of whether a fetus is a person is irrelevant"
It's not a straw man. It's a hypothetical test of his reasoning. He says viability doesn't matter to his argument, but throws out that induced birth could be an option. His argument is not that "abortion should be illegal at viability, but you should be able to induce birth". You are twisting his words.
- theossuary 4y agoI'm not twisting their words; you've simply lost the ability to comprehend text that pertains to abortion. > Similarly, the argument goes, you should have the legal right to have an abortion (or at least induce labor, if viability is possible) at any point during a pregnancy. What does "at least induce labor, if viability is possible" mean to you?
- derac 4y agoHe says you should have a legal right to an abortion at any time during pregnancy... Also I support abortion and I'm a social democrat FWIW.
